Product Details

Originally created to support lymphoblastoid cells in suspension cultures, RPMI 1640 has since been found to have a wide variety of applications in mammalian cell culture. RPMI 1640 is used with many cell types including human T and B lymphocytes, bone marrow cells, and hybridoma cells. The medium is commonly modified with or without the presence of L-Glutamine, Phenol Red, and HEPES. RPMI 1640 gets its name from the center in which It was developed, the Roswell Park Memorial Institute.

Nucleus Biologics’ strategy for media supply and manufacturing are unique to the industry. We don’t only provide media with defined specifications for you to choose from, but instead build media based on your desired specifications. Start with our recommended RPMI 1640 formula or choose from a list of publicly available supplier formulations and easily add, remove, or adjust components and concentrations for a custom variation — your intellectual property. RPMI 1640 is manufactured in facilities using GMP guidance and in compliance to ISO 13485:2016.

Cell culture media is for research or further manufacturing. Not for direct administration into humans or animals.
